A lap of Macarthur Park, street circuit in Canberra

This is a lap of the Macarthur suburb in the south of Canberra, ACT, Australia. In between 1978 and 1981, these streets were used for a series of motorcycle races (the houses weren't built then, of course)

Damn, I just can't seem to get it right. That's two people's houses we missed. By the way, can you tell me if the sign down in the park has been fixed or are there just the posts for it left in the ground. It was just up behind the pre-school.

Damn, sorry about that. However, as noted on the video, if we had continued the circuit straight down Jackie Howe (past your place), then the bikes would have been arriving much too quickly at the "Stop" corner at the bottom.

I tell you what, persuade all the residents of Macarthur to move out for a weekend and we'll do it all again!!!

Thanks heaps. Funny to think that you guys weren't even around when the bikes were booming around Mac Park!!

@fastenuff1:

The sign IS there.

@fastenuff1 Yeh the sign is now actually a sign. I have not bothered to read it yet. They removed that rc/bike track, now its a basketball hoop and a shit all of a skatepark. Keep intouch if you want to know anymore on macarthur :)
